Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Dalvik - Aurora Leisure

This place is terrific - comfortable, clean, convenient. Cannot say enough about our host, Freyja, - friendly, responsive almost immediately, knowledgeable - and a great cook! Thanks for everything!

Quiet and spacious l

No TV no fridge

If there’s a hair dryer in the room, it’s will be better. Everything is good!

Room is small, the heater was not working very well. The staffs were very nice and helpful, service was good. The breakfast was good too.

What staff? We arrived, it was locked tighter than a drum, we went to the little grocery store and a very helpful young lady called the owner, she met us there and gave us a key and took off! It was adequate, but I would look for something else next time

Clean and comfortable

We loved this place! The staff was extremely kind and helpful and we got to stay in the newly built cottages to the side of the hotel so we got some additional privacy. The rooms were nice and clean and the area around the hotel is just beautiful.

The first night we arrived late at night in May 2022 and there was nobody at the reception desk. Some other guest pointed to us that our keys were in a basket with our name attached to it, which was confusing. There was no elevator to the second floor. No top sheet on the bed. Small room, no toiletries. The next morning our host Freya was nice at the breakfast room and very helpful. So we left to explore the area for the day and we arrived late again that second night we realized our room wasn't cleaned at all. No way to ask for clean towels since nobody was at the reception desk and obviously our bed wasn't made, our bathroom was dirty and the trash was still there. There is a reason why we choose hotels over other types of accommodations and that's because we like our room to be cleaned everyday!! We stayed two nights in here and paid almost $300.00 US dollars for the two nights and no one cleaned our room!! That's never happened to us before. Is it a standard practice or is it just very, very bad management? How could they not clean a room in a hotel?? I am very disappointed, I wouldn't recommend this kind of hotel to anybody.

Nice

The primary reason to stay in Dalvik is probably to catch the ferry to Grimsey. The hotel is a very basic place to rest but not a place for long term . We stayed in the annex where you get basic room with shared bathroom and kitchen. The room is very small. Barely room to open a suitcase. The linens were clean and the bed comfortable. It felt like dormitory living. We also had loud roommates in other rooms but nothing EarPods couldn’t block out. No tv. WiFi signal was good. This is a very basic no frills hotel. It suited us fine, but it was cramped. It was a nice location to catch the ferry. Just know this is a bare-bones type stay. The front desk was nice. If you want luxury this hotel is not for you. If you just need a place to sleep, this place is clean and in a safe area. Breakfast is available for purchase but we opted to eat at the nearby gas station.

We used Hotel Dalvik as a home base for the ferry ride to Grimsey Island to see the Arctic Circle. We loved the convenience to the port, just a couple of blocks away. The staff was outstanding, very helpful.

Excellent hotel. The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The room itself was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space for luggage and to stretch out. The bathroom was in nice condition and the shower had super water pressure. The hotel has plenty of free parking and offers a nice breakfast to start off the day. The staff went above and beyond during this stay to help out with some extra assistance that was required. The location of the hotel is great, within easy walking distance to the center of town and to the Grimsey ferry. The staff recommended a pizza place that served some great pizza just a couple of blocks from the hotel. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

ótrúlegt en satt að það er ekki hægt að fara út að borða á Dalvík, enginn veitingastaður.

We stayed for 3 nights while in Dalvik and found the accommodation basic but always clean and comfortable. The main plus for this hotel is the staff and management. They will do anything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Their local knowledge is wonderful and took care of every request we had even when it meant more work for them. We would stay here again simply because of the management and staff.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The facility is immaculately clean and nicely furnished.

Room was very small. No TV or phone is room. Overly priced for available accommodations

The outside of the hotel looks a little worn but inside the rooms were clean, updated and very comfortable. The host was friendly and made sure the room was to our satisfaction. I was looking for a basic but comfortable accommodation for the night and this fit the bill.

Clean room with a nice view. They have special entrance for the guests to walk out late at night in order to watch the Northern Lights. The receptionist was kind enought to wait until late at night because we were running late. We saw and. Took good pictures of the aurora. Cozy place fit for a night stay in Dalvik when you are here for the aurora or the whale watching tour.

The checkin was a friendly informative man. Northern lights very visible v
